Sometimes, the answer to the question "How are you really doing?" can feel like cement in your mouth. But often, it's an honest answer that unlocks meaningful friendships. Join us today for a conversation with Coffee + Crumbs writer, Cara Stolen—our resident outdoorsy girl—as we discuss backpacking, friendship, and the intersection between the two. We hope this episode inspires you to grab your best gal pals for a hike (or walk!) and let them in on what's really going on. This show is brought to you ad-free by our generous Substack community. If you'd like to support the work we do for as little as $3/month, head to coffeeandcrumbs.substack.com to join us (and get bonus episodes!). For show notes, go to coffeeandcrumbs.net/podcast. Cara convinces us to hike with friends; listen to this bonus episode if you're thinking about Traveling with Friends.
